Sometimes I feel like ripping my skin off
Like it is holding me captive
Keeping me in this abusive relationship that I have created
The never ending abuse is invisible to the world
I have learned to hide it well; that is from everyone but me
The hurtful words are always attacking my mind
The blade is always attacking my arms
No one knows what lies beneath my skin
If only I could rip out of it the world would see
They would see my pain and tears
Hear my plea for help
And maybe just maybe someone would step in
